This is the plot of The Prestige, and to some extent of the survival horror game Soma.
Both excellent for the same reason.
Soma is absolutely one of the best atmospheric story games!
This is exactly what I thought of. After The Prestige and Soma, the wonder and awe of teleporters were forever lost to me and replaced by a Lovecraftian, world of Cthulhu-esque cosmic horror type dread. Let's have some technological advances for bending time and space a la A Wrinkle In Time or Dune. Manipulate stuff that's not my body.
